VisBuilder

You can use the VisBuilder visualization type in OpenSearch Dashboards to create data visualizations by using a drag-and-drop gesture. With VisBuilder you have:

• An immediate view of your data without the need to preselect the visualization output.
• The flexibility to change visualization types and index patterns quickly.
• The ability to easily navigate between multiple screens.

Try VisBuilder in the OpenSearch Dashboards playground

You can try VisBuilder without installing OpenSearch locally by using OpenSearch Dashboards Playground. VisBuilder is enabled by default.
